Early Clubbies had a blue motor, later Leyland Minis had black motors.

I reckon that the stock Clubby blue looks neat but for some reason it makes the motor look smaller.
My race engines used to all be black. They were a pain in the bum because you could never see where the oil was coming from. :lol:
